Im on probation..Am I screwed?

[Kth332]

Thanks guys for the responce. I understand that it's going to be tough when there are 50 applicants and here I am the only one of the 50 thats on probation. I have already contacted the local construction companies, logging companies, rock companies...nothing. Its just the times.
Musicman: Would I trust a guy just in of the streets that got into trouble TEN years ago and hasnt been in ANY trouble since, not even a speeding ticket? Yes I would. Not arguing your point, believe me I understand what you mean. Its just frustraiting when people only look at the fact that I was in trouble, not the fact that I havnt been in ANY trouble since the year 2000.
Mr Ford: I appriciate advice. Its the some of the best stuff on earth because most times its free and like now right at our fingertips. My point I was trying to get to you was that, your need to point out your perfect is not needed. Its not constructive. I thank for your advise sir, but do I need you to tell me that I messed up? No. I had 5 long hard years in prison to remind me of that.
Orangetxguy: Ive been givin a pretty darn easy start here? Did I miss somthing? Was I suppose to go through a hazing process on this web site?
Thank everyone again for thier advise. You have all (for the most part) told me what I have in store. Safe trips and God Bless you all. Merry Christmas!!!

You said it happened in 2000 and you did 5 years. Anyone looking at you will see 5 years at best with no trouble and at least for the first few years far more restrictive parole than you have now. You may have to take a less than desirable position at first.

I had 2 Dui's in the mid90's and i have been into Canada twice. Did i just get lucky crossing the border?

[Roadhog]

Nawah... you look Canadian, eh.

I think they only profile Yoopers anyway.

[TruckingGuy]

Man... why would you have these drugs around with a CDL? Sorry just sounds troubling to me.

I don't think there is any problem working when you are on probesion.... search for a job and just don't tell that you are on probession.... and don't let yourself in any activities nothing will happen!!!

"just don't tell that you are on probession"??? what the hell is "probession? "You are a f*ckin' Clown...

Well, if your family is hurting and you need to provide for them, but some choices you made in the past are keeping you down. I don't see you getting a job as a truck driver, especially since the probation is still active....... to be honest, have you thought about joining the military?????

My best friend got busted for armed robbery back in '98. He did 11yrs in state holding and then got released w/o probation. He tried getting a job EVERYWHERE but no one would take him due to the convicted felon thing. So he joined the Army 2yrs ago. He is a Heavy Vehicle mechanic now stationed in Alabama. the Army provides him, his wif, and their 3 kids with on-base housing, medical and a retirement. I was going to go this route when I graduated HS in '98

In most states... in fact ALL that I know of... it is an automatic violation of probation (VOP) if you get caught not informing your employer of your legal situation. In most cases, part of your probation officer's job is visiting you at work on a regular if not frequent basis. Even if it is not a VOP, as soon as your employer finds out you are on probation and that you lied about it during your application process, your azz will be unemployed. Nothing like lying at the beginning of a relationship to build trust.
